Logo and fonts aren’t a brand, only components of a brand. Everything about SS relies on Sam’s celeb and does nothing to distinguish or elevate itself within the category. But speaking of the logo, how does an unrefined piece of clip art align with a premium price point? Or the dated fonts reflect a whisky that leans more modern than old world tradition. In reality, SS brand isn’t dissimilar to his incongruent personal brand.

Anon, I agree with everything you said, but since my original post was in regards to the merch and the non-usage of the logo, that's what I focused on. By tying the name of the whisky to the show, he cornered his brand, forever associating it to OL and JAMMF, no matter what he says. His attempts to get out of that corner have so far been futile. Nether the outdoorsy highlander, the cigar-smoking gentleman and the drinking biker have worked. Now, he's trying to appeal to younger women going to clubs and using music industry references for his "tour". It doesn't change the fact that he sells his booze almost exclusively to female OL fans on the older side. I'm afraid that will not change, until they stop buying.

What brand? His brand is a game of throw ✨whatever✨ at the wall. You also need a strategy beyond ‘sell more booze’.

His booze does have a logo with a specific font, colour and image, so that's the brand. As for strategy, I agree he has not much of one, if any. I wonder if his future will be just more booze tours and cons... Easy money for sure, but not very fulfilling career-wise.

Usually “merch” is to get your brand known and it’s starts by respecting it : name, logo, typography, colours, etc. This merch is totally off-brand.

The bits I’ve seen are so cringe, I would not be happy it’s going out if I were him. Maybe we’ll finally see him NOT promote a project over and over again, and maybe not at all. Refreshing! 😅

Is there any particular reason why this film which was not popular in 2010 now is in the spotlight 15 years later, in 2025? 🤷‍♀️

I have some ideas rolling around in my head that I'm not super excited about 🫤

I wonder if they’re together or is Ash just skilled at making it look as though they are. Timing of IG posts, etc, the type of posts and how they can be interpreted. She’s got an account here in Tumbler and a few in IG and a couple just gush ❤️ sentiments about Sam. Come clean people. Quit the games.

Can we just get over the woman? She works for him, maybe she would like more, but I don't think he's into her. Talking about Ash just incites trolls to go to her account to send nasty messages. Why? I, for one, will stop answering questions about her as of now. ;)

[bestjaydee]

Ash has a remarkable ability to get people to do whatever she wants, often in their most foolish state. Look at what she has done to other SS girls, what she did to Alex, and now Sam.

Fools will be fools. They don't need anyone to be so, although they do like to hang out with like-minded people.

[bestjaydee]

Well, Ash is now in Glasgow.

Whether you like it or not, he’s in London with Ash.

Hon, I don’t give a toss either way. You seem quite invested. Perhaps get out more?

Merry Christmas to all. May your day be filled with joy and your heart with love, always.

Sam's recipe for a healthy lifestyle : - Exercise four times a week - Drink my booze everyday - Eat balance meals (well, I mostly do restaurants, but your can cook) - Smoke cigars every chance you get

The booze and cigar marketing shoe horned in between his fitness program posts is becoming ridiculous. He’s gonna have to pick a side or look increasingly hypocritical

Where do you see Sam in 5 years?

Good question. I don't think he'll get another role like JAMMF, and it's very unlikely that he'll get a major movie role based on movies he's managed to do since OL came along, which were all average at best imho. So where will he be? Doing cons and private events, milking his fans for every penny they'll give him, reading phone books and being photographed with giant bagels. He may do a few personal projects for television or small roles here and there. I'm not sure how long SS will survive once OL is done. He would have to turn his team around and start developing a real marketing strategy, something he hasn't done yet. As for his private life. He'll be pushing 50. Will he settle down? DoubtfulI from what we've seen. It's more likely the girls (paid or not) will be getting younger. I know I'm not painting a pretty picture. I wish it were different. I'd like him to better his craft and do some theater, but somehow have a hard time believing this would really happen. Then again, maybe he'll surprise me. :)

Sam made a joke about the similarities in the bottles of whisky. A joke. Everything about him is not serious and cause for a meltdown. People can have fun in life so it’s ok! Just breathe….

Did I miss something? Who is melting down? Maybe it’s you Anon, because I merely made a comment about a pattern I see.

[bestjaydee]

It’s good to see he spends time with his Mom. Love this side of him.

Who in this corner is really surprised that he would post such a thing ? That’s just who he is and what he does.

He may be in for an unpleasant surprise though if his super fans decide to go after Beyoncé and her fans fight back.

Is he trying to get some of Beyoncé’s 316M followers to notice him🤔… or is he just being snarky? (Especially petty is the slight difference in font size on the Sassenach Spirits hashtag!)

Oh btw, Hibiki didn’t seem to mind you borrowing their design Sam..
